MANSFIELD, o., June 15.-AnOther fine
game Of ball was put up by Wheeling and
Mansfield to-day IN which the home team
won by superior fielding Curry, the new
pitcher, proved an easy mark, and he gave
way to Kelley in the sixth inning. The
home sluggers gave Smith just as bitter a
pill, and he retired in favor of Dunn in the
eighth inning. Reynolds and Mckinney
divided the honors in the out field, both
making some beautiful catches.
The feature of the game was Bob Aliens
ine all around work He cut of no less
than half dozen hits at short and made
four clean hits, that netted three Of the
runs. His work at short was the best
seen on the grounds this season. Dele
hanty supported Curry in fine style, and
Yaik's support of Kelly was perfect. The
infield work of the visitors was loose, and
errors at critical points were costly, and
lost them the game.
THE GAME.
Mansfield went to the bat in the first,
and were retired in one, two, three, order,
and the visitors scored in their half on a
phantom by Dunn and q single by Speidel.
In the second Allen got his base on five
balls, stole second and third and scored on
passed ball, and Yak scored on a phan-
tom, steal to second, q passed ball and q
sacrifice by Kelly. In the third Curry
got q life on passed ball of the fourth
strike, advanced to third on wild
throw and scored on passed ball. The
visitors were blanked in the third
and fourth and in the nth
Delehanty hit safe, stole second and scored
on Aliens single, and Allen scored on a
wild throw to catch him at third by
Smith. In the same inning, Smith hit
safe and scored on Dudley's two bagger.
Dudley scored on q wild throw by Dele
hanty, and Crogan on Nichols hit. The
sixth was q blank for both and in the
seventh, clean hits by Reynolds, Dele
hanty, Allen, Yak and Eldred netted three
runs; Reynolds, DeiehanGy and Yak scor-
ing. In the eighth, Wheeling made two
on errors by Allen, Curry and Eldred. In
the last Crogan scored on Nichols sacrifice
and MOffat's hit sent Dunn over the plate.
In the same inning Allen hit safe and
scored on Yaik's double. Below is
THE SCORE.

AKRON, o., June 15.-The GAINESVILLE
ball club jumped onto Irwin from the word

as he has not received this year. He has
been worked too hard and showed it in
to-day's game. A crowd of l 200 people
groaned rs they saw their favorite club
beaten Is to s, and their favOrite pitcher,
whom they had just presented with a
handsome bOguet of flowers, hit for "a safe
hits with total of 81. The Zanesvil-
lians last night telegraphed Duck
to come on and help them out
of the box in which they were
here and that pitcher who had been nurs-
ing a sore arm for week arrived to-day,
ard held the Akron boys down magni-
ficently. They got away from him finally,
however, and in the seventh inning began
hitting him, but after that he shut them
off again, and Akron went down in defeat
for the second time. Both sides fielded
excellently and many brilliant plays
were made. Both Duck and Irwin were
well supported especially the latter. Cor
man, Akron's new Canadian pitcher ar
rived to-day, and will be put in the box
Friday against Mansfield. The Akron
management also telegraphed to ]. H.

The little gown was made and donned

The little gown was made and donned
as birthday surprise to my mother.
A lovely young lady friend Of my
mothers, hearing of mammy's wonder
full success, grasped eagerly at the idea
as means of making for herself hand
some wedding-gown. The result of her
efforts was silky material of greenish,
silvery hue, in accordance with the col
ors from which the lint had been made.
From this she fashioned stylish gown
and long pelisse trimmed with bands of
sheeny green feathers, woven by her own
fair fingers, and the costume when COM
plete was handsome enough for the we'd
ding travelling suit of young princess.
The bridegroom, soldier, we after
ward learned, found it quite impossible
to obtain for himself fitting wedding
suit, so his mother, in a spirit of emula-
ton aroused by the achievement of the
bride, completely turned-even to the
button holes-and renewed for him an
old broadcloth suit he had worn previous
to the war, making it look as if fresh
from the shop.
Feather-work was largely engaged in
by the ladies, and handsome dress and
wrap trimmings, as well as mural adorn-
ments, were formed from it. The handi-
work of two Virginia sisters in the line
of feather fans was well known through
out the whole Confederacy, and they re-
ceived high prices for these really beauti-
full products of their skill.
Handsome ornaments for hats, such as
aigrettes, flowers, cords, tassels, &C. were
also wrought by delicate hands from
cornshucks and palmetto.
Rag-bags and attics were ransacked
everywhere, old treasures were un-
earthed, and many pretty gown fash
toned from long abandoned material
Two ladies of our acquaintance,
wealthy and exclusive at the beginning
of the war, were glad during its latter
years, through the great change wrought
in their fortunes, to find that their skill
in making shoes, slippers and CATERS
could furnish them with modest in
come. These shoes were constructed
from old broadcloth coats and pants,
pieces of bombazine, and any available
black goods; their soles were often cut
from the leather tops of WORKOUT shoes,
and their lacings were the coverings of
hoop-skirt wire dyed black. Toward the
close of the war many of them sold for
$50 and $40 per pair.
Dyeing was an industry much prac-

SCHOOL HYGIENE IN WINTER.
Some Suggestions Which Should be Fol
lowed by all Teachers.

lowed by all Teachers.
In summer the child is greatly favored
by the free, natural ventilation of the
school-room the wide range of his
sports; his sympathy with exuberant
nature, and the long vacation, with its
varied rambles, its frequent bathings, its
exhilarating sense of freedom, and, per-
haps, with its change of air.
The absence of these favoring circum-
stances in winter suggests greater atten-
ton at that time to the physical condi-
ton of school children.
Their food should be suited to the sea-
son. Fat is to the body what coal is to
the stove. 1t is simply fuel No sailors
are allowed in the expeditions to the
North Pole who cannot digest an
abundance of fat. The child can safely
withstand our Northern cold only as he
carries within him a copious source of
heat. He not only should have, but
should, if necessary, be trained to love
fat meat, gravies and well-cooked rashers.
Where oatmeal is an important part of
the daily diet, the large proportion of fat
it contains meets the need in part, and
so does the well-buttered bread, but it is
we'll to add daily the fat of meat.
But while we introduce heat-producing
food within the system, we must guard
the heat from too rapid loss. The child
may be exposed to extremely low tenn
peratures. Good wooden flannel should
be worn next the skin all the winter,
while the outside clothing should be
thick and warm. Wooden stockings,
thick boots and good rubbers are indis-
pensable, and the child should be taught
the danger of going with cold or with
damp feet.
1t is important, also, to remember the
physical difference in children. In some
of them the recuperative power is strong,
and asserts itself at once; in others a
slight cold means death, or protracted
invaldism.
But the school-room itself needs con-
slant looking after. If it is not properly
ventilated, the vitiated air lowers the
tone of the physical system, and renders
it very susceptible to colds and other
ailments. A tendency.to colds will also
be caused by too high a temperature,
which weakens the resisting power of
the skin. On the other hand, the weakly
are sure to suffer from too low temper
ature. This should be regulated by a
thermometer, and should not be allowed
to vary much from 100 Fahrenheit.
We must add that, while child's food
should be ample, it should be simple
avoiding what merely pampers the appe,
tite. Many a so-called "cold" is due to
disturbance from undue eating YOUTH,

ticed, and all dye materials were highly
priced. Black walnut gave a rich brown
dye, swamp maple clear purple, one
species of oak an excellent yellow and
madden red Wild indigo, pokeberries
and many other natural dyes were also
used.
Knitting was carried on to wonder
full extent, not only for the soldier boys
who were well remembered in socks,
visors for protecting the head, under
vests and drawers, but also for the
family.
The little winter skirts and stockings
worn by myself and little sister were
knit by my faithful nanny from bits of
wool and old wooden garments which
she had habit of picking up from de-
serted camp-grounds or wherever she
CHANGED to find them. These she would
cleanse thoroughly and then subject
to the same process as that resorted to
for my homespun gown.
Dainty needlework, lace work and
crochet, for all of which Southern ladies
are so justly famed, were used by them
for identifying their homemade and
often homespun garments.
One thin, cream colored gown of
foreign weave, made over from grand
mothers wedding robe, which l recall,
was handsomely embroidered by young
lady with strands of scarlet silk drawn
from the fringe of a China crepe shawl.
Where bacon, corn-meal, sorghum, rice
and cow-peas formed the only supplies
for the table, a problem was presented to
housekeepers as to the means of provid
ing appetizing and attractive meals
Corn-meal was made up in every con-
ceivable form, but batter-bread seemed
to be the favorite compound. Cow-peas
and rice were mixed when cooked, and
called "Tom and Jerry" Confederate"
fruit cake was made of flour if one could
procure it-meal, if not-sorghum and
minced dried apples. JEFF Davis" pies,
mixture of sorghum and eggs, were
quite popular, and fig, peach, ounce,
pear, plum, apple and citron preserves
were made with sorghum. Indeed, sor-
ghum reigned supreme, and in many
cases those who cultivated it realized
from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre (Confeder-
ate money! from its sale. 1t was very
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1887-12-24

was very novel and pretty. Those who
lived in the pine-regions obtained their
light from the picturesque and cheerful
glow of pine-knots, but it was OF 80
Pickering a nature as to be very hard
upon the eyes if reading, writing or
sewing was attempted.
A vision of a beiated wartime supper,
eaten under the fantastic glare of pine
torch, held by negro boy at the head OF
the table, stands out in bold relief on the
tablets of my memory, and l can see
as wildly as if to-day the faces of those
about the board, beneath the wavering
Rembrandtesque shadow of the torch.
Paper grew very scarce toward the
close of the war, and newspapers made
their appearance on wallpaper, while
the familiar songs of the period, such as
"Lorena," Richmond On the James"
Gail Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight"
Crock Me to Sleep" and when This
Cruel War is Over" were printed on
sheets much reduced from the usual size
and of very coarse brown paper.
Envelopes were always turned, and thus
made to do double duty, and where
letters were written in pencil the first
writing was erased usually with a piece
of an old rubber-shoe) and the same
paper used for the reply.
School-books of an ancient date were
brought to light, and while in some
schools but one textbook of a certain
kind was used for an entire class, while
the pupils of another class were, per-
haps, each supplied with different text
book on the same subject.
The greater number of the remedial
agents of the time were prepared by the
ladies, for regular drugs had been made
contraband, and were exceedingly hard
to procure. Flaxseed, dried blackberries,
slippery-elm and such other natural
remedies as the country afforded were
kept on hand in most families. Healing
herbs were largely cultivated and often
times the simplest remedies, such as pine
water or shuck-tea, were made to serve a
timely and efficient turn.
Sick and wounded soldiers were COM
mon inmates of private dwellings, and a
roll of lint and bandages was usually
kept with the medicine ready for imme-
diate use.
And thus, woman, in every capacity,
as faithful nurse, cheerful provider for
the house, loving worker for the absent,
and brave bearer of the great sorrow and
privation wrought by war, shone forth
with the soft and steady brilliance of q
star during the dark and troublous times
OF the Confederacy.

AUSTRIA PREPARING FOR WAR.
Extensive Measures of Defense-Peace Talk
from Russia.

Extensive Measures OF DefenSe-Peace Talk
from Russia.
The war office at Vienna is taking
measures permanently to increase the
facilities by which troops can be mo-
bilized and to place Galicia in better
position for defense. The Przemysl
fortress, the most important defense
work in the province, is being sur
rounded by a network of railroads, and
track has been added to the Hungarian
Galician railroad. Other Notifications
are being erected. These preparations
will enable large force to be thrown
into Galicia at the shortest notice. No
extra force will be stationed in Galicia.
Emperor Francis Joseph presided re-
Gently at military council Count Kali
noky, the imperial prime minister, was
also present. 1t was decided not to sum-
mon the delegations for the present, as
Russia has apparently stopped her menac-
ing movements Measures for the mObil-
ization of troops were arranged, which
will be Immediately adopted should
Russia continue massing troops on the
frontier. The public is not unduly ex-
cited, but it was resolved to meet any
attack that may be made with firmness
In leading circles the idea that Austria
intends to give Russia provocation for
war is repudiated.
The agreement extending the Austro-
German treaty of commerce has been
signed.
In the best-informed circles at Pesth
the situation arising from the reinforce
ment of Russian troops to Poland is not
regarded as portending immediate
danger. Nothing more will be done yet
beyond the sending of a warning to Rus
STA that Austria is watchful and will not
leave unanswered any further military
measures that Russia may take Austria
will not precipitate counter measures,
because she does not desire to leave Rus
STA without loophole or to give her re-
treat the appearance of being due to
Austrian menace. 1t is expected that
Austria will grant to Russia brief de-
lay for furnishing a spontaneous expla-
nation of the massing of her troops.
Meanwhile Austrian preparations will
quietly continue. The press regard mat
tiers in perfectly calm spirit.
AT st. Petersburg well-informed per-
sons assert that the Russian governments
intentions are entirely pacific, and that
public opinion in Russia is also in favor
of peace. The predictions of an APP
preaching conflict between Russia and
Austria are the more unjustifiable after
the recent imperial meeting at Berlin, as
the rapprOchement then effected can only
contribute to general peace by involving
Austria in a similar pacific development.
| The Russian movements on the frontier
consist merely of the dispatching thither
of division of cavalry, not with an ag-
gressive idea, but for the protection of
certain localities. The city of Lublin is
exposed to attacks by an enemy, against
which prudence recommends that provi-
sion be made, in view Of the important
military preparations now proceeding in
Austria,

A Competitive Examination.

The position of medicine-man to band of
Indians at Bay Center on Shoalwater bay,
in Oregon, is about being vacated and a
competitive examination was at last accounts
being held for a successor. The examination
was unique and in accordance with the laws
of the tribe, which provide that the candi-
date who dances for one week, night and
day, without giving out, and succeeds in the
meantime in finding some object which has
been previously hidden, is chosen. He is
forthwith declared the medicine-man, and
the "healing business" is turned over to him.
When last heard from, the candidates had
been tripping for four days, and several were
almost exhausted.
